Ok so he is 3 months old, when the carrier is open he has no problem to go inside and play and treat it like another toy. But when I close it, he will meow, scream and try to get out. So I was wondering if I can train him to stay there and actually enjoy it. Putting his favorite toy inside doesn't work, he doesn't even watch it. Maybe if I put some bedding etc? Just something to make it interesting.
The reason why I want to do this is to teach him not to associate the carrier with vets only and to also be able to restrict him from doing things for short periods of time, for example I want to clean and I don't want him on my way, or I want to open the windows and don't want to worry about him jumping out etc. Keeping him in the carrier would be perfect for those events. He is an indoor pet.
Does anyone have similar experience or knowledge on how to teach him to enjoy being in the carrier?
